So sometime in June or July when I was going crazy cooking a bunch of holiday recipes in the middle of summer, I made the decision to post this particular recipe during finals time.
Now when I was queuing up all these recipes, finals week was something that seemed so far away (and rightfully so). And that’s why as I post this recipe, I can hardly believe I’m having my last week of classes!
Time really flies, because somehow I’m this close to finishing my first semester of college.
(What?!)
Now the reason I wanted to post this recipe during finals is that it’s just so freaking easy to make, and this is the kind of winter study snack any cold, sleep-deprived college student could want.
I barely ever bake with mixes, but I’d heard that a couple Duncan Hines mixes were vegan, so I decided to bake something with brownie mix.
Now generally you add eggs to boxed mixes. Eggs are kind of like glue- they hold baked goods together. So without eggs, I knew this brownie mix wouldn’t really turn into brownies.
And rather than try and do some of my usual vegan baking chemistry, I just went with it and used only one flax egg! The result?
Ooey gooey barely-baked molten brownie goodness.
Top it off with vegan chocolate peanut butter ice cream and crunchy peanuts and you have yourself a diner-worthy vegan brownie sundae that’ll get you through the last week of classes! (And maybe even through exam week?) Enjoy!
- 1 box Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Brownie Mix (or other accidentally vegan mix)
- 1 flax egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water)
- ⅓ cup canola oil
- ⅓ cup water
- ¼ cup So Delicious Soymilk Ice Cream (Peanut Butter Zig Zag)
- Chopped peanuts
- Grease your pan with coconut oil or vegan butter.
- Combine all your brownie ingredients and bake for 20 minutes for pudding-like brownies or 30 minutes for thicker brownies.
- Top with ice cream and peanuts. Serve!

I love accidental veganism. Like Oreos are the best accidental vegan cookie ever. 🙂
This looks irresistible, Medha!
Right?! Thanks!
You are a genius, Medha! Chocolate molten peanut butter sundae is brilliant! Good luck with exams and congrats on almost the end of your first semester!
Aw thanks so much 🙂
I’ve been seriously craving brownies for the past week, but I didn’t have any cocoa powder on hand last weekend, so guess what I made? Your maple PB blondies!
Aw yay! SO glad 🙂 How did they turn out for you??
Talk about brain food! I can’t think of a better way to get through your finals than a bowl of this delicious sundae. Good luck with the last few days of class and tests!

Duncan Hines cake mix is vegan?! That is a cool coincidence! This looks SO fudgy, I’m not sure anyone could resist it!
Some of the brownie mixes are! Thanks 🙂
Congrats on almost finishing your first semester! A fudgy brownie sundae is the perfect way to celebrate! Love that it’s vegan!

I had no idea Duncan Hines was vegan…I guess that makes sense since you add the eggs, etc. in yourself? Genius idea to make a sundae out of this, and pb&c is just the best.
Thanks, Marcie!
I didn’t know that some of the Duncan Hines mixes were vegan! That’s great to know though, especially for friends and family. This looks so perfectly gooey! Love it!

Who can resist a brownie sundae? Looks fantastic Medha!

Oh my goodness….this looks so amazingly delicious, especially with ice cream 🙂 I wish I had a big bowl of this with a spoon so I could dig in!
